BOSS GP

Yep, that's the one I mentioned, Speedblood.

It seems he is even former champion in the US series.

Hopefully he'll run at Zandvoort or Nürburgring as well.

To answer Dan Selby: They were due to run at Brands Hatch this season but they recieved a more attractive and dudget friendly offer from Nogaro and they called it off, which is understandable.

Last I heard Brands Hatch is still on the agenda for 2013... If Nostradamus is wrong, obviously!

Boss in the USA is not the same as our European series it is more a demo/parade as Klaas found out.

A bunch of old rich guys showing off their toys don't really race or go that fast? I'm shocked.

[simtek12]

You have people who approach everything negative and you have people that are positive.

I think it's a good addition and I like that Phil is taking his car across the ocean to race here.
I wish more people did the same.

It would be a shame if these cars were kept behind gates at places that are not open to public, I'd rather have them driving slowly in a parade, but that I can watch.

5 cars in the open class is nice, but the list is a bit short.
I had hoped for more cars, to be honoust.

Nevertheless, I will thoroughly enjoy my weekend off.

[simtek12]

The weekend at Zandvoort was great, but the weather could have been better.
Nevertheless I enjoyed the weekend and helped out Top Speed once again.

Here is a selection of my pictures:



























As you can see below, it was pretty, hard work.

[Thundersports]

Seems like Klass is having a clearout!

[Speedblood]

I'll go half's* on one of the ferrari's with someone

*Ok more like a hundreth

[simtek12]

Maybe Klaas needs room for a new(er) car?
That would be something.

[SLK55]

I think its a combination of boredom and recession. Has anyone noticed that Spain is in a mess ? Are you all blind ? 25% Unemployment over there......its had its day.....

[simtek12]

I'm not blind, I watch the news.

But Ascari (Race Resort) has little to do with the state of Spains finances or employment.
The resort attracts wealthy people from all over the world, so I don't see your point.
People with money still spend it.

Just look at the sales of Ferrari, they had the best year ever in 2011. (Crisis and all.)

[adam46]

Hello,
I know I said I would write race reports on 10/10's but unfortunatley I have had big computer issues and have been unable to do so. I will write a seaon review at the end of the season to fill the void!

[ss_collins]

God those Ferrari's are cheap.

[simtek12]

The entrylist for the DTM round is online.

Looks like a good grid:
5 F1 cars
8 GP2
4 Indy/Champcars
3 World Series
2 F3000/Nippon

Looking forward to a great weekend (with 2 screaming V10s).

[Thundersports]

I notice the Nogaro round has vanished off the calender...........This replaced the Brands Hatch meeting!

It's a different series - albeit with some of the existing entrants.
Some of the Dutch competitors decided to start their own series, using a very similar name and existing events.
Letting in more modern cars seems to have reduced the number of F1 cars and the majority of cars appear to be from recent second level series.
